Purple Calla Lily Bouquet/Centerpieces

Andrea, on January 31, 2011 at 7:41 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 15

I need help with any ideas for my bouquet and centerpieces. Does anyone have any pictures they can share?? For my bouquet I am thinking of mostly Deep Purple Callas, some cream callas, Green Cymbidium orchids and lavender roses as a filler. For my centerpieces I am doing 1/2 Vases (Tall, Medium, Short) with Purple submerged Calla and floating candle on top and the other 1/2 of the tables will have a short large vase with large flower arrangement of Callas, etc...

    It sounds like you have it pretty well figured out!! If you just want to see how it looks, go to your local florist and just buy a few of the flowers you are interested in and go home and play with them for your arrangements and bouquet. Just beware that orchids are very delicate and expensive, and most of the time they don't survive in bouquets very well.

    Here are a few pics I found...I know the colors aren't quite right, but at least you can see the callas and orchids together....

    Thank you so much! The last one is exactly the direction I want to go! Thank you so much! I need to send that to my florist. Cause she was kind of not getting my ideas that I was throwing out. It was making me very nervous so I have been searching for pictures.

    Wow! You guys are really helping me out a lot! Thank you! I was initially thinking the single calla like the 3rd centerpiece pic, but now I LOVE the first one with a couple twisted in the vases!

    You need to change the colors, but these bouquets have roses, orchids and callas

    Yeah definitely ask your florist for a mini mock-up if you can. I showed mine the exact picture I wanted my bouquet to be and the colors for the ribbon and she still F*cked it up! I wanted mini calla's and roses and she gave me large calla's like 6 of them not even trimmed so they were HUGE and LONG rapped in white ribbon with a smaller purple one around it. Purple was not a wedding color at all. I cried when I saw it! Ripped the purple of and had to hold the white one on all day could the purple one was basically holding everything together. OK sorry to vent on your thread. But, beware tell her exactly what you want and ask for a mock-up!

    1st pic: rectangular tall vase filled with long stemmed, eggplant callas with orchids. a hand-full of the callas were fake though. also, the girls' bouquet on the left (without the orchids)
